Welcome to The Thinking and Learning Lab!

The
Thinking and Learning Lab studies cognitive development,
with a primary focus on the development of mathematical
knowledge. In our studies, we investigate how children
think, learn, and solve numerical problems as well as
which cognitive processes promote or impede children’s
learning.
Through this work, we seek to learn how to structure activities and materials to facilitate
children’s
learning of numerical information.

Most studies provide children with a unique opportunity
to practice math one-on-one with a trained tutor from
Boston College free of charge to all. To learn more about
